Season 3, Ep. 10: A Song For Ourselves Saturday School Podcast
-
- TV & Film
Our last episode of our season about Asian American music movies brings us full circle - from episode 1's "Cruisin' J-Town," produced by Visual Communications, co-founded by Robert Nakamura, to this week's episode about the 2009 documentary "A Song For Ourselves," by Robert's son Tad Nakamura, about the political life and music of the late Chris Iijima.
We reflect on how the Asian American movement has evolved in the last fifty years, and how our own individual lives evolve as we learn to balance politics with family and/or other priorities that begin to shift when we get older. But most importantly, Ada tries to make a "Tad Nakamura-thon" a thing.
